Join teachers using KidCitizen on the TPS Teachers Network!
Take advantage of a professional community of teachers using KidCitizen to foster primary source inquiry with young learners.
The TPS (Teaching with Primary Sources) Teachers Network is a professional social media platform designed to host and facilitate community conversations, connections, and collaborations that focus on using Library of Congress primary sources to improve student learning. Network tools support the development and dissemination of effective strategies and resources for teaching with primary sources in K-12 settings.*
